Liz Taylor has made a name for herself as a renowned events planner, with celebrity clients ranging from Take That stars and Coronation Street cast members, to even being trusted to plan Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright's wedding. But, prior to running her successful events business, Taylor Lynn Corporation, the mum-of-two from Didsbury started out with just £200 in the bank.
